Chapter 63: Discovery and Predation
After the news of the submission of the Kinmori Domain to Baron Jean, the entire Mumori Domain was in an uproar, and many people were surprised, and Alan was also very surprised when he learned the news.
After all, Baron Scott resisted the temptation of the viscount title and rashly expressed his submission to another baron, which was incomprehensible no matter how it looked.
Even Alan couldn't figure out what this Near Mori Territory thought, whether he thought that the strength of the territory was too weak, and sincerely wanted to surrender to Baron Jean in order to protect himself, or whether he had other plans and used the way of surrendering to Baron Jean to confuse others, and finally secretly achieved other goals.
But now it seems that no matter which of the two ideas is Konmori, it can be considered a success.
Baron Jean no longer has any plans against him because of the submission of the Nex Lord, and after knowing that the Nexian Commander is subservient to Baron Jean, the other barons directly ignore the Nex Lord, after all, they don't even have the heart to compete for the title of viscount, and they are all thinking about how to fight Baron Jean.
Because of this situation, now the Near Forest Territory is the safest territory in the entire Mu Sen Territory, and there is no danger!
However, for this reason, the Konmori Leader attracted Allen's attention, but now the purpose of the Konmori Leader is unknown, and Alan does not dare to guarantee whether he sincerely surrenders to Baron Jean or if he really has other plans.
If the Near Forest Territory really has other plans, then the Green Desolate Territory located in the south of the Near Forest Territory will definitely be threatened, in case it suddenly attacks the Green Desolate Territory, and if it is unprepared, the Green Desolate Territory will suffer a big loss!
In order to find out if Konmori Ling had other purposes, Alan ordered the Shadow Section to secretly investigate Konmori Ling more than ten days ago, which is why Alan suddenly asked Andy now.
"Lord Baron, in the course of the investigation of the Shadow Domain, it was discovered that every three days in the middle of the night, a convoy would secretly enter the Black Dragon Mountains.
Just the day before yesterday, the convoy entered the Black Dragon Mountain Range again, this time the Shadow Section spies secretly followed behind, and sure enough, they found that the convoy entered a col on the periphery of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, and the spies found a camp in it, but because there were too many sentry posts around the camp, the spies did not follow, and retreated after noting down the location!"
After hearing the baron's inquiry, Andy did not hesitate at all and told Alan what had happened.
Sure enough, after hearing the result, Alan was overjoyed, this close to the forest collar is really greasy, and his behavior in secret is completely different from the appearance on the surface.
For the secret camp in Andy's mouth, Alan guessed that it was very likely to be a military camp, and the convoy that went to it every three days must be to transport food to the soldiers in the barracks.
There is definitely an unknowable conspiracy!
"Continue to let the people below monitor the every move of the Kinmori Leader, especially the mysterious camp, and report it immediately if there is any change. Alan looked at Andy solemnly.
"Yes, Lord Baron!"
............
At this time, inside the Black Dragon Mountains.
Inside a large cave with a clearing outside the cave and sunlight shining down, the cave was a natural dwelling where Locke and the Gnoll warriors lived.
"Chief, the food we stole from that Terran village has almost been consumed, and now there is not enough food to eat, what should we do?" asked Locke with an impatient look at the barbarian warrior Hank.
Hank himself is a big stomach, one person can eat the weight of five other jackals, usually eat until he is full, now seeing that the food is not enough, Hank is the first to get anxious, the food is not enough, he Hank must be hungry.
In order not to go hungry, Hank can only run to Locke to find a way, after all, Locke is the leader of the entire team.
"Chief, I think we're going to find another Terran village to snatch a handful? those Terrans are very weak, and it's easy to grab food," Hank smiled and proposed to Locke.
"Shut up, don't think about it, I've got a solution for food!" Locke said lightly, not listening to Hank's opinion.
Locke knew that the first time the village was slaughtered, it was a fight against the Terran barons, and now that a Terran village has been slaughtered, the Terran barons must have been alerted, and if they rashly enter the Terran territory again, their whereabouts are very likely to be exposed.
And the most important task at the moment is to wait for the arrival of the kingdom's army peacefully, Locke does not want to cause unnecessary trouble, in case the Terrans notice something, but it will be trouble.
The lack of food was expected for Locke, as the leader, after all, there were now three hundred gnolls to eat, and the food stolen from the Terran village would not last long.
Coupled with the extremely dangerous sea routes, it will take a long time for Potter to return to the kingdom with the fleet, not to mention the time when the kingdom will send troops to the Duchy of Kane, and Locke estimates that the army will arrive in November!
In order to solve the problem of survival of his group of jackals in the future, Locke set his goal on the beasts of the Black Dragon Mountains, the Black Dragon Mountains are thousands of miles in radius, due to the high humidity and high temperature all year round, a primeval forest scene with lush branches and leaves, there are many species in it, and there are countless species of beasts, wild deer, bison, wild horses, wild boars, etc., and some of them form communities, coming and going in groups.
It just so happened that Locke knew that there was a large herd of wild boars living near the cave where he lived, and the number of wild boars in it had reached more than a hundred, and Locke set his sights on this herd of wild boars, which was the only choice to get out of the predicament now.
"Hank! go gather the warriors!" Locke commanded Hank.
"Chief, what are we going to do!" Hank asked, after gathering the gnolls.
"I'm going to solve the food problem for everyone, and I'm going to take everyone to eat meat today!" Locke said with a smile.
"Meat, meat ......" As soon as they heard that the leader was going to take everyone to eat meat, many of the gnolls became excited, shouted loudly, and let out a series of ugly roars.
Locke took the lead, took the ordinary iron mace that the king had bountied, and set out with the gnolls and warriors thinking about where the wild boars would live.
Since most of the gnolls are not interested in iron smelting, the entire gnoll kingdom has less iron equipment, and the iron weapons of the gnoll kingdom are basically captured in the war with the human country, which is very precious.
When Locke set out to find the Duchy of Cairn, the king rewarded Locke with a precious iron mace as a weapon.
As for the other gnolls, they have rudimentary weapons such as large sticks and some beast leg bones!
